Excerpt:

She missed them.

She finally got the nerve
to tell them that.

“I’ve missed you, too,
Charlotte,” Chris said. “We both have.”

“Very much,” Drew added.

Chris looked thoughtful
for a moment. “You could always come out for a visit.”

Drew looked at Chris and
muttered what sounded like, “You always were a glutton for punishment.” He then
added, “So am I, apparently.” Finally, he turned back to Charlotte, looking at
her with longing. “We’d love to see you again, sweets. It’s been too long.”

To say she was tempted
was an understatement. However, she knew being in the same space as them would
only complicate things. Longing for two people she couldn’t have was punishment
indeed. They both obviously still had feelings for her as well, and choosing
between them was still not an option, not to mention the fact that one brother
would never hurt the other that way even if she did. She also didn’t think she
had it in her to repeat their last parting.

She used the best excuse
she could think of, and one that was mostly true. “I have a big project I’m
working on right now, so I really can’t get away any time soon.”

“Didn’t you just tell us
you worked from home?” Drew asked.

She bit her lip.

“You’d have the entire
top floor to yourself,” Chris began. “It has a master bedroom with a seating
area and a large desk.” He looked hopeful as he went on. “You’d even have your
own private bathroom with a shower and a separate Jacuzzi tub.”

“Wow! That sounds
amazing.” It really did. She had a nice sized one-bedroom condo, located just
minutes from the beach, but there definitely was nothing bubbling in her
bathtub, nor were there two sexy occupants sharing a space with her. They were
undoubtedly the most tantalizing part of the deal. However… “I couldn’t ask one
of you to give up your room for me.”

“We wouldn’t be,” Drew
said. “Our bedrooms and office are on the first floor.”

Now she was confused.
They had what sounded like an amazing space upstairs, but neither of them used
it. Perhaps they didn’t want to fight over who got the master bedroom and they
chose to use it as a guest room instead.

“We were saving it for
someone special.” It was Chris who answered. Her expressions always gave her
thoughts away to them, making her an open book. He must have taken notice of
her confusion, but he did not elaborate further. He actually turned away from
her for a moment, seemingly uncomfortable with the response he had just given
her.

He didn’t really need to
elaborate anyway. It was the someone special part that rang
loud and clear and stung. She definitely did not want to hear
more. She also didn’t want to speculate which one of them would end up getting
to use that room one day with a significant other.

“Are you all right?” Drew
asked.

Damn it! She quickly
schooled her features and avoided thinking about what they must have seen
written on her face. “Yes. I’m fine.” Charlotte waved a dismissive hand in the
air.

“Say yes, Charlotte,”
Chris said.

She wanted to say no, to
protect her heart. Seeing them now only reminded her of every reason she had
convinced herself that parting from them was for the best. Then she thought
about them settling down one day, and maybe even finding someone herself, and
knew that this may be the only chance to see her two best friends again. She’d
take the old and new memories, along with the pain that would come with them,
and tuck them all away later like she had done before. At least for the most
part. Still, she’d have no regrets then.

Waking
up in the middle of nowhere, isn’t such a bad thing when you’re a hot blonde
with a nice rack. What sucks, is waking up with no memory of how you got there.

The
only thing I know is my name, Paislee Olsen.

Stuck
with a crew of four men, a building full of illegal, but enjoyable contraband;
I’m down for whatever my job is supposed to be.

However,
my desires for all four men is getting harder to control every day, and
unfortunately, playing with them might be out of my hands. The owner of the
illegal cargo is demanding it and a ransom payment for a member of our team. If
we don’t give into their ultimatum?

Death.

I
always wanted to go down in a blaze of glory. If I’m going to die, why can’t I
have a little fun in the meantime?

As daughter of the Alpha of the Blue Valley
lion pride, Heidi should have the pick of the litter when it comes to dating,
but not with her brothers. Surprised with a trip on a very exclusive cruise,
she’s excited to see what her fantasies may include. Bondage? Submission?
Ménage? Yes please! If this is her chance to explore everything she’s ever
fantasized about then Heidi is going to go for broke.

Who has time for pleasure? There’s far too
much work to do. Wild Desires cruise line is having issues and Mason and Wade
plan to get to the bottom of it. He didn’t anticipate them finding a lioness
that has his tiger utterly fascinated. Neither of them seem to be able to
resist the temptation that sweet little Heidi presents.

Why fight fate when it presents them with
such a tasty treat—good thing they’ve always preferred to share.

Blair “Boots” Alexander grew up as the only
daughter to come from the Spryth bloodline. Her father’s legacy and his throne
stood in jeopardy as he tried endlessly to find a suitable mate for her to
continue on their family’s bequest.

Alex Shapiro was two years younger than the
tenacious Blair, but that didn’t stop him from chasing her every chance that he
had. Her fiery personality always had eager and ready for whatever she was
willing to give.

Chance McKay had known Blair since she was
two years old. With their father’s friendship, he’d grown up more like her
older brother than anything more. Though, as she grew from that bratty toddler
into the gorgeous woman that she’d become, he found it increasingly harder to
resist her seductive ways.

When Blair’s father grows tired of her
indecisiveness, he thrusts upon her a man that he insists that she mate with.
But true to her obstinate nature she has other plans in mind. With her sights
set on the two men that she can’t seem to get enough of, she disobeys her
father and refuses to settle for anything less… than them both.

Crashing her car into a tree to avoid
hitting a large black dog and knocking herself senseless, was the perfect end
to Felicity Taylor’s already crummy day. Now she’s stuck in the wilderness with
no phone signal, no way home, and a serious headache.

Drake Bramwell is a wolf shifter and beta
of his pack. When he comes across the injured female, he knows that she is
destined to be his mate. Only problem is his brother and Alpha, Riordan. The
brothers are destined to share a mate, but Riordan is determined to mate with
another wolf, despite Drake’s insistence that Flick is their fated mate.

Felicity doesn’t even know wolf shifters
exist, and is thrown by her attraction to the two men. Can Drake convince his
brother that Felicity is the female for them? And can they protect her with an
enemy bent on revenge?

Driven by instinct, an Alpha shifter recognizes
his fated mate from one scent, one touch. He'll pursue his woman, regardless of
the cost, and anyone else would be smart to get out of his way. He won't stop
until he takes possession of his prize.

Although the hunter doesn't need convincing, his
mate certainly does. The Alpha will have to prove himself as a lover and
convince his woman that he plays for keeps.

Blurb:

A wolf
hunter always catches his prey…

For
Logan Munro, a rare True Alpha and bounty hunter, those words had never rung
more true. Not since he first laid eyes on Theodora Petridis’ photograph when
her father hires him to rescue her. It turns out, that his little human
spitfire of a mate, comes armed with mysterious weapons of her own and
furthermore, wants nothing to do with him beyond accepting his help to rescue
her sister. Logan vows to rescue Thea’s sister in time and to stop the threat
that has hovered over the Petridis family for years no matter the cost.

Thea
has spent years trying to find a way to stop her sister’s would-be captors,
even at the expense of having her own life. When a sexy alpha wolf shows up
just in the nick of time to assist her, she fears falling for the man who wants
to own her body and soul. But will she be able to walk away from him once the
job is done and more importantly, wonders if he will actually let her go.

“Let’s get
two things straight right off the bat.” He looked angry, making her flinch. “Make
that three. One, I would never hurt you, so stop being afraid of me.” He took
her hand, the one she was holding the ice pack with, and gently placed it over
her bruised cheek. He let his hand linger there for a moment before continuing.
“Two, I would never deliver innocent women to a bunch of cultist criminals. And
lastly, I take cases on a first come, first serve basis, and those I deem
worthy of my time. I don’t drop a client because someone else offers me more
money. It’s not how I operate, not to mention the fact it would ruin my
reputation.”

Once again, she saw the sincerity of his words on
his face, heard it in the tone of his voice. Her gut told her he meant every
word. Teresa had told her once that not all shifters were bad, which wasn’t
hard for Thea to believe since her sister was one of the kindest people she had
ever met. Teresa had also spoken of her family many times, all of whom were
nothing like Leon and his family. But
Leon was an alpha, and so was Logan, based on not only the abilities he had
displayed earlier in the cabin, but also from what she had read about him in
Leon’s files. Alphas were uncommon, and extremely dominant.

Teresa had not been able to sense Leon as her mate
from that young of an age, but he, being a teenager at the time, had sensed
her. His family had groomed him for leadership, to take what he wanted, and now
he would stop at nothing in order to keep Teresa, like she was nothing more
than his possession. Her sister had felt the threat of this looming over her
since the murder of her parents, never allowing herself to find someone of her
choosing to be happy with. She was terrified of what Leon might do to a man she
became involved with. Now Thea had her own reason to be terrified.

She cast her eyes down and whispered, “I told you
before that I won’t be owned by anyone.”

And then Logan was on the couch next to her. She
felt his fingers under her chin, gently prodding her to look over at him. “I do want to own you,” he said, his voice
raspy. “I want to own you body and soul, as you will own me, but I want you to
give yourself to me freely. Mates are a beautiful gift to be cherished and
protected, Thea.”

She couldn’t help the shiver of excitement that ran
through her body at his words. She had to press her legs together when she felt
that same rush reach into her core. “And if I refuse?” she asked, her voice
breathy.

“I won’t take you against your will, if that’s what
you’re asking me,” he said firmly. And then she saw a sly smile forming at the
corner of his lips. “But that doesn’t mean I’ll stop trying to convince you. I
see how your body is reacting to me, Thea. You want me, but you’re trying to
convince yourself you don’t. I can see how you are pressing your legs together
and I can smell your desire. You may not be able to sense a mate like wolves
do, but you can still recognize me as yours.”

“You’re arrogant, aren’t you?” she asked, but her
voice quivered, losing its bite.

He only
smiled wider at her words. “Confident, not arrogant. We were made for each
other, you and me.” He stood up. “I need to make some phone calls to my
outsourced contractors. I’m going to put some detail on all of Leon’s
properties tonight, get some of their routines down.” He took out his phone and
sent a text. “Your rental car will be taken care of shortly.”

Thea got the feeling he wasn’t just referring to
Leon and his demon pack.

BLURB:

Dr.
Tom Barrymore thought he was pulling over on the side of the road to help an
injured man, but what he discovered wasn't what he bargained for and he finds
himself running for his life.

Sheriff
and panther alpha, Luke Benson, had nearly given up hope of ever finding his mate,
but when he stumbles upon him, the man is a few heartbeats away from death. He
has no choice but to make a decision that will alter his mate's life forever.
He'll do whatever it takes to convince the good doctor that they belong
together, but first ... there's a matter of justice to seek against the men who
dared to touch his mate, before they make another attempt.

“Where
the fuck are my clothes?” he asked as he finally stood up, only to realize he
was stark naked. He grabbed the bedsheet and covered up his dick. “Did you—”

The
sheriff growled. He actually fucking growled and then he got in Tom’s face,
towering over him by a good five inches and spoke low, his voice angry. “When I
fuck a man, I make sure he remembers it. Your clothes were torn to shreds. I
cleaned you up, and sat watching over you all night to make sure I’d be there
if you woke up and felt disoriented. I didn’t touch you.”

Tom
swallowed loudly and sat down on the bed. The sheriff backed up a little to
give him space and stood there looking at him with his arms folded. Tom
actually felt bad for accusing the man who saved his life, albeit turning him
into a monster in the process. Being a scientist, he had absolutely no rational
explanation for any of this. He suddenly felt very lost, not being able to
explain, nor understand. It was frustrating.

“What
does that even mean … that I’m your mate?” he asked just as his arms began to
itch again. Ignoring the need to scratch, he mimicked the sheriff by folding
his arms across his chest.

“It
means that whatever fates are out there, they have deemed us worthy of being
mated for life. Shifters are more intuitive than humans. I guess you can equate
it to knowing when you have found the one.”

Tom
snorted. The last time a guy told him he wanted forever, Tom found him in their bed … with two other men. “Don’t I
get a say in any of this?”

Tom
watched as the sheriff’s full lips quirked into a breathtakingly cocky smile.
He immediately had to drop his hands to the bedsheet, surreptitiously trying to
restrain the bulge underneath it. Damn
traitorous cock. The sexy as sin sheriff only smiled wider.

“You’re
going to tell me you don’t like men?” the cocky bastard asked. “Or is it that
you’re still in the closet?”

Tom
rolled his eyes. “I came out to my very supportive parents in high school and
I’m proud to live my life as an openly gay man. Maybe I don’t want this damn
itch to dictate who I should be with,” he said with exasperation as he finally
gave in to scratching his arms. “Or maybe I’m just not attracted to you.”

He got
up from the bed, frustrated, no longer caring about his modesty. “I need to
think.” I need to get the fuck away from
his delicious scent before I beg him to fuck me on all fours right now. “I
need some”—he cleared his throat—“space.”

The
sheriff’s gaze traveled down to his very long and erect cock. Tom couldn’t help
the groan that escaped him as Luke first licked and then bit his own bottom
lip, keeping it trapped there between his teeth.

He wasn’t sure how long he stared at the sheriff’s
mouth, but then he spotted his duffle bag along with his other personal
belongings on top of the dresser and went over to it. Without turning around,
he was about to ask Luke to give him some privacy, when the other man said,
“I’ll just give you some space.” The
door gently closed behind him.

And it's day 7 for our 7 days, 7 authors, 7 questions.

Question
7: What Are You Writing Now?

So many stories, so little time. I haveGrey River9
almost finished and the characters in book 10 are screaming for their
HEA. I have three or four stories on the go at any one time, so
there is always something to write if my characters go quiet on one of my
stories.

Right now, I’m finishing a
revise and resubmit on a male/female side of Mooncrest, developing the story
into a novella or novel. It’s Saber’s sister, Honor Creed, and a wolf with a
sketchy past, Foster Jefferson. Honor comes to the relationship fresh out of an
abusive relationship where she was claimed without her permission, marked with
her own version of a scarlet letter. She’s scared and when her ex-husband
escapes from jail, she has to be taken into hiding by her fated mate and he has
to prove to her they are meant to be. I’m in love with this story and these
characters and can’t wait to send it back to Evernight Publishing.

I am working on two books right now. Beta Wars, which is the
next book in my Pack Warrior series. It picks up right after the Pack Wars. The
Gray-Moons had lost their Beta, pitting brother against brother to fill the
role. I am also working on the next book in the Beyond the Veil series which I
co-write with the lovelies Maia Dylan and Sarah Marsh. Fighting Faete features
Kat’s story and the Dark Fae twins introduced in Bound To Their Faete. You can
find links to all thosegoodies here.

I’m actually really excited that my first F/M series (Heart of
the Mountain) was just accepted by Evernight. The first book is called Hiring
the Tiger and it’s about shifter. Go figure. I also have a story in a Fantasy
Romance collection calledCrazy Little Spring Called Lovethat is released next week. My story
in that antho is about a bad-assmermaid.

I always have several WIPs
on the go at any one time. I have a couple of steampunk inspired stories, another
couple with a Halloween theme, plus a few more which are fantasy/paranormal. If
I don’t have at least half a dozen to work on, then I feel my imagination is
drying up and my Muse isn’t doing his job.

I’ve got two more stories in myLaissez Faireseries that are slowly but surely
being put on paper. I hope to have book #2 (the title has changed about a dozen
times, so I’ll leave it atBook #2for now) finished up in the next month.
